If Hendrick’s Did Christmas Cocktails…..

With all the fuss about the food at Christmas it’s easy to forget the really important stuff – what to drink. Luckily for us our good friends at Hendrick’s Gin have come up with some absolutely fantastic cocktails working with some of London’s top cocktail peeps. Hold on to your hats for these little beauties:

Method: Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and place on the heat. Let the concoction simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Taste, adding lemon or honey depending on whether you like sweet or sour. When it’s ready, pour into a teapot and serve in teacups. Alternatively serve in a traditional punch bowl. Can be reheated so you can make it ahead.

Method: combine all ingredients except milk. Bring milk to the boil, once it has scalded, gradually add it to the mixture. You will see the milk curdle and split. Do not stir. Once it has cooled, strain off the milk curd and bottle for 48hrs. After 48hrs the mixture will have clarified, with the solids at the bottom. Strain off the clear liquid and stir 75ml over ice and garnish with toasted marshmallow.
